My pet peeve power usage; according to their web site (http://www.cellcomputing.com/third/prodp54.html) the max operating power consumption is listed as 7.3 Watts. In my experience most cpus operate at or very near their max power consumption, so I would be surprised if this unit averaged 4.5 watts over the course of a day. But maybe its as good as they say. as an aside the other pentium flavors are: 133MHz (9.7wattmax), 166MHz (6.6wattsmax). Otherwise this looks like a fantastic unit. Especially since you can get one with 128MB on board. sweet! -Paul -- R.
